The much-awaited Adelaide Fringe Opening Night Parade is on this Friday the 13th of February! The hot weather is sticking around so make sure you stay sun smart and keep hydrated while you’re out and about soaking up the atmosphere and excitement. There are a long list of road closures for the parade, so plan ahead to avoid being caught out, or catch an Uber for an even easier solution. Road closures start from 2pm on the day, while buses and trams on King William Street cease at 6:30pm. Please note, parade spectators must sit behind the blue line (as they do for the Christmas Pageant). Check out the below list for the full run down on the road closures.
